Chapter 73: Medicine (1)
However, the miracle did not happen, and Xu Chuchu did not wake up because of Xiao Yu's call.
She slept soundly in Xiao Yu's arms, her body even beginning to twitch faintly.
Is this really the end of the matter? Is there really no other solution?
Xiao Yu chopped off the head of a tall puppet with one move. The head rolled on the ground like a ball and was quickly kicked away by other puppets. However, the expression on the head did not change at all, and it was still as wooden as before.
This scene suddenly reminded him of what Xu Chuchu had just said this evening.
"Let me tell you a trick to deal with a fortune teller. Strike first and block his mouth so he can't chant the spell. Then he won't be able to deal with you."
Yes, that’s it.
The crisp and laughing voice seemed to still be in his ears. Xiao Yu did not hesitate at all. He casually grabbed an empty porcelain bottle from the high shelf behind him, crushed it into pieces with his bare hands, and threw it in the direction of Sanshan Zhenren with great force.
Sanshan Zhenren had no time to dodge, and the broken pieces of porcelain hit his smacking lips directly.
The sharp porcelain pieces pierced the corners of his mouth and tongue, and his mouth was full of blood in an instant.
"Ah, ah——" He struggled to spit out the porcelain pieces, but the pain became worse when touched. He couldn't recite the spell properly, and all the puppets seemed to start playing in slow motion at 0.25 times the speed. Their movements were slow and uncoordinated, and they immediately freed Xiao Yu from the siege.
It really works.
"Give me your life, you old thief." Xiao Yu did not expect this cunning fortune teller to go back with him to stand trial, so he swung his knife and prepared to execute him on the spot.
Sanshan Zhenren valued his life the most. He was so frightened by the blade in front of him that he was not afraid of the pain. He endured the pain in his mouth and ordered the puppet to come and stand between him and Xiao Yu. He took the opportunity to slip away.
Just by doing this, the porcelain fragments that were originally only inserted a little bit went deeper. Not only did it hurt so much that I saw stars, but I didn't know if I could pull the porcelain fragment out later.
Xiao Yu pushed the puppet away and quickly caught up, but saw that Sanshan Zhenren jumped to the next room in a few steps and then disappeared.
This was originally his territory. He knew the terrain and structure very well and chose to escape in the blind spots. Xiao Yu couldn't catch up with him for a while and could only watch him escape.
In fact, with Xiao Yu's tracking and investigation capabilities, it would not be a problem to spend some time chasing him, but it is obvious that he has more important things to do now.
"Chu Chu!" Xiao Yu immediately placed Xu Chu Chu on a single soft couch in the corner of the room, and ran back to pick up the small bottle of antidote that he had just recognized.
After thinking about it, he felt uneasy again, so he picked up a large sickle from the ground and chopped the puppets that were lying crookedly on the ground into pieces of wood.
In this way, even if Sanshan Zhenren came back to launch a sneak attack, he would have no chance.
"Chu Chu." After cleaning up the battlefield, he quickly sat back down beside Xu Chu Chu, opened the porcelain lid, and saw a dark green paste inside. He was puzzled for a moment, "How do I use this medicine? Should I take it internally or apply it externally?"
He expected Xu Chuchu to answer, but she was still in a coma. He didn't know if she was dreaming about something. She kept mumbling, and mysterious black poisonous lines almost covered her face.
Xiao Yu didn't care about anything else anymore. He picked out a ball of ointment and gently rubbed it on the poisonous mark on her forehead.
Her skin was as smooth as a peeled egg, but her body temperature was surprisingly low.
Xiao Yu quickly increased the speed of application and couldn't help but pray softly: "Chu Chu, don't scare me."
If something really happened to Xu Chuchu here today, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
At this time, it was not known whether the ointment took effect or his call was heard, but Xu Chuchu actually coughed twice and opened his eyes slightly.
"Xu Chuchu!" Xiao Yu called out quickly, "How do you feel?"
"No...it's itchy." Xu Chuchu half-opened and half-closed his eyes, scratching all over his body irritably, "Apply medicine to me."
Xiao Yu quickly sped up and applied ointment on her face and neck.
The ointment is dark green in color and is quickly absorbed into the skin. The black poisonous marks also gradually become lighter under the effect of the ointment.
Seeing that the medicine really worked, Xu Chuchu's rapid breathing slowly stabilized and he fell asleep again. Xiao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could feel at ease, another problem arose.
Xu Chuchu was still grabbing her arms and shoulders anxiously from time to time, obviously he still hadn't finished administering the medicine.
But this, this... this is all under the clothes, how can he get on? !
I want him, that...
This is obviously contrary to the ethics, righteousness, integrity and shame that Xiao Yu has been taught over the years.
But time is running out, and with human lives at stake, how could he care less?!
"A doctor has a heart like a parent. A doctor has a heart like a parent." Xiao Yu comforted himself while trembling and groping to put on Xu Chuchu's tied clothes.
Because of the poisoning, Xu Chuchu's breathing was a little fluctuating. No matter how careful Xiao Yu was, when he untied the laces, it would touch her chest from time to time.
Untie one layer, there's more inside, untie another, there's more...
Why, why are women's clothes so complicated? Xiao Yu suddenly remembered that he had personally selected this dress the day before and asked the maid to send it to Xu Chuchu.
I thought it was beautiful at the time, but now I just think it was my own fault...
After Xiao Yu solved the last layer, he was too afraid to look anymore. He stared at the beams, applied the ointment on his palms, and then smeared it on Xu Chuchu's body.
But the less he looked, the less he knew what he had touched, and the more likely he was to start imagining all sorts of things.
Well, going down the neck, here are the shoulders.
There's a protruding bone below his shoulder... Is it his collarbone? It's so thin, much thinner than his.
The girl's shoulders are so narrow that they can be held in one hand.
Wait, what is he thinking? Xu Chuchu's life is at stake, and he's already studying the anatomy of the human body?!
Xiao Yu knew that this was not going to work, and he cursed himself for being useless. He no longer cared about anything else. He mustered up the courage to glance at the spread of the poison pattern, then immediately closed his eyes and started to smear it on the bones or flesh without caring whether it touched bones or flesh.
He had been practicing martial arts for many years, and his palms had thin calluses and were a bit rough. When he touched the girl's delicate skin, it felt softer than dough, a feeling he had never experienced before.
The feeling was wonderful, but he had no intention of enjoying it at all. Instead, he was particularly worried that Xu Chuchu would suddenly wake up, scold him as an old pervert, and then hit him with a hammer.
Fortunately, Xu Chuchu showed no signs of waking up. The more he applied the lotion, the hotter she became. The itchiness on her body faded away, and she even hummed in comfort, twisting her body back and forth.
This girl...how come she has no sense of vigilance at all!
